The island, which is elongated in shape, extends from north to south. The vegetation of Sardinia’s northern and southern regions varies quite a bit as do the island’s cultural traditions, and Sardinians have adapted to these differences in their natural environment. The best known area in Sardinia is Costa Smeralda with its unique small sandy beaches nestled among many different types of cliffs that border the coast’s numerous bays. Portobello , a cluster of lovely villas containing rental apartments, is typical of the accommodations available in the north of Sardinia. Located on Sardinia’s east coast a half hour south of Olbia, San Teodoro has reinvented itself. Once a simple fishing village, it is now a popular resort town.

This is mainly attributable to the nearby beaches, particularly La Cinta with its superlative three kilometer-long stretch of white sand. Not far to the south on the SS125 you come upon Nuoro , the capital city of the eponymous province that extends across the center of Sardinia from the east to the west coasts. This is the region people head directly to when they’re interested in discovering Sardinia at its most genuine. Perdasdefogu is another place where visitors can discover the real Sardinia. Surrounded by ancient holm-oak trees, this village is nestled in the Sardinian mountains between the historic Oligastra and Salto de Quirra regions. The island’s topography changes considerably as you travel south. Muravera is set in a hilly landscape and is bordered by large lagoons where pink flamingos and many other avian species can often be seen. Torresalinas , 7 km away, consists of a group of sea-front villas located on a stretch of Sardinia’s southern coast that lies off the beaten path.

In contrast to Torresalinas, Costa Rei , which is located further to the south, has become a magnet for tourism but has lost none of its charm. Located about 50 km south of the island’s capital city of Cagliari , Costa Rei (“King’s coast”) offers visitors crystal clear waters that are almost surrealistically aquamarine in color, and long white sandy beaches. Villagio Rocca Sant' Elmo , which is nestled in an unspoiled natural area at the tip of Costa Rei, was built in the 1990s. Here, Vito Sonzogni’s ingenious and prize winning architecture enables the buildings to blend in seamlessly with their natural surroundings. Villasimius is a picturesque former fishing village. Geremeas is also every vacationer’s dream of the perfect place to be. A mere 30 km to the east of the hubbub of Sardinia’s capital city of Caligari , this resort is located on a section of coastline that is not visible from the coastal road and offers the loveliest long white sandy beaches imaginable. Is Molas is set in an exquisite landscape consisting of intensely green maquis, pine forests and lush flowering vegetation including palms and cacti.

The view of the sea, the Pula flatland and the mountains is magnificent. My notes Cagliari 2017: Best of Cagliari, Italy Tourism - TripAdvisor Things to Do More Sardinia’s largest city (with a little over 150,000 people) and its capital for centuries, Cagliari on the island’s south coast offers the perfect mix of recreation and exploration options.

It has both a large port and an airport, making it easily accessible from mainland Italy and a good place to start a tour of Sardinia. The city also has many interesting sights and attractions, from archeological treasures to medieval monuments.

Sagra di Sant' Efisio The historic Sagra di Sant' Efisio starts May 1.

A colorful 4-day procession leads from Cagliari to the Romanesque church of Saint Efisio on the beach at Nora. Decorated oxcarts, people in traditional costume, and horsemen from all over the island accompany the saint's statue in a parade followed by food and dancing. This is one of the island's most important events. What to See in Cagliari: The castello or castle district is the oldest and highest part of the city and a good place to wander around. The roof of Bastione di San Remy is now an open terrace where you can enjoy great views of the city and sea beyond or have a drink at one of the bars. Inside is an exhibit area and concerts are sometimes held here, too. In the Castello district are the Romanesque Cathedral of Santa Maria and museum, the Archbishop's Palace, and the Elephant and San Pancrazio Towers. The excellent Archeological Museum has exhibits tracing Sardinia's history from the Neolithic age, through the Phoenicians and Romans, and on to early Christian and the Middle Ages.

It's in the Citadella dei Musei, a museum complex in the former arsenal where you'll also find the National Art Museum and a museum of Oriental Art. The Marina district, near the port, has an arcaded street with cafes and shops, the town hall, and several churches. Don't miss the excavations beneath under the church of Sant'Eulalia, Vico del Collegio n.2, where you can see a Roman paved road, remains of buildings, a portcoed building with the remains of pillars, and a thesaurus (a sort of sacred "temple" where a collection of coins was found). The excavations show the continuity of life from the III century BC to the VI century AD (closed Mondays). Cagliari's Roman heritage can be seen at the Roman amphitheater, built in the second century. Outdoor concerts are held in the amphitheater during summer. One of Italy's top botanic gardens can be found in Cagliari. It includes caves where ferns are grown, a collection of Mediterranean and tropical plants, and Carthaginian and Roman remains.

Cagliari and Sardinia Tour Guide A good way to explore the city of Cagliari and the island of Sardinia is to go with a personal tour guide. I recommend Paola Loi , a licensed guide who is a native of Cagliari and speaks excellent English.

As they main attractions are either very close to the city center or very well connected by public transport, taxis are not very essential. By car[ edit ] It is really difficult to get parking and drive in rush hour even if the road network has been recently improved. On foot[ edit ] The best thing you can do is walk through the old city and discover it. Almost everything you have to see in a quick visit of Cagliari can be joined by a pleasant little walk. Wear comfortable shoes, though. The old town of Cagliari lies in a somewhat steep hill, so you will be walking uphill or downhill most of the time. There are clean public toilets in the building on the Pontile Sanita ferry wharf, near the bus terminal. By bike[ edit ] The Cagliari bike station is in the centre of Cagliari, inside the parking area, at the train station. [6] .

You are in Home / Discover Italy / Sardinia / Cagliari Cagliari What to Do What to Taste The Province of Cagliari is situated in the southern part of Sardinia , overlooking the Mediterranean Sea on the south and on the east. It is bounded by the Provinces of Nuoro , Ogliastra and Oristano on the north, and by the Provinces of Carbonia-Iglesias and Medio Campidano on the west. It expands over 1,764 square miles (19% of Sardinian territory) and comprises 71 municipalities, including the City of Cagliari, capital of both the Province and the entire Region of Sardinia. Like the rest of the island, the Province of Cagliari is of rather heteregoneous terrain: the variety of rocks is remarkable, as are the minerals, the highlands, the caves and the coasts.

The Molentargius-Saline Regional Natural Park, in the inner part of the province, is a rare example of an ecosystem in highly anthropized areas. It is one of the most important places in Europe for the extraordinary number of birds that shelter here. One-hundred-seventy-seven among 330 of Sardinia's birds species live in the Molentargius Basin - more than a quarter of all European bird species. At certain times of the year, these can exceed 20,000 specimens. Among these: flamingos, herons and little egrets. The park borders with one of Italy’s most ample beaches, the Poetto, extending over almost five miles, and Cagliari's main beach. Next to the Capital is the Sette Fratelli – Monte Generis Regional Park, one of the largest parks on the island and a natural environment for the Sardinian deer. The Sella del Diavolo’s Promontory is also here - its name derives from the legend that Lucifer carved the profile of his saddle on the rock after being expelled from Paradise.

The eastern part of the Province is made up of the subregion of Sarabus-Gerrei, subjected to considerable drainage works at the beginning of the 20th Century in order to eliminate malaria: it is a wild zone, yet still abundant with characteristic villages. Cagliari, city rich in art and history, is located on the same-named gulf, and is both Provincial and Regional Capital. Visit the fortified quarter of the Castello that overlooks the city and its monuments of rare beauty: the Medieval Rampart of Saint Remy, the Elephant and Saint Pancras Towers, and Saint Mary’s Cathedral, situated in the beautiful Piazza Palazzo that is also site of the Palazzo Regio. The Cittadella dei Musei also deserves a visit. Formed by a wide central court, it is surrounded by buildings housing the city's best artistic and historical collections: the National Archaeology Museum, the world's most important for its Nuragic Civilization, as well as a fascinating Phoenician-Punic collection; a National Painting Gallery; Stefano Cardu Siamese Museum of Art; and the Clemente Susini Waxworks Collection.

Also outside the Castello Quarter, Cagliari is crawling with intriguing sites and sights, such as the Amphitheatre and the Roman Villa of Tigellio; the Necropolis of Tuvixeddu, hundreds of tombs dating between the 6th Century B.C. and the 1st A.D.; the Grotta della Vipera (Viper’s Cave) and the Basilica of San Saturnino, important testimony to the High Middle Ages, founded 5th-6th Centuries. It is worth visiting the neighborhood of Stampace, Marina and Villanova as well. The first was the neighborhood of bourgeois and merchants, the second of fishermen and sailors, and the third of shepherds and peasants. Besides the city of Cagliari, it is also worth visiting the Ethnographic Museum in Quartu Sant’Elena, containing more than 5,000 finds from the 13th to 20th Centuries that narrate the rites and traditions of Sardinian agricultural and pastoral society.

In the west of the Province, noteworthy are the Church of San Giuliano in Selargius, built between the 12th and 13th Centuries; and the Tomba dei Giganti Is Concas (Tomb of the Giants Is Concas) and the Archaeological Park of Cuccuru Nuraxi in Settimo San Pietro - it hosts a partly-destroyed Nuragic complex containing a sacred well. Moreover, the Archaeological Park of Cuccuru Nuraxi, situated in a small peninsula in the town of Pula, where the finds include remains of typical Roman buildings and evidence of a very original mosaic. As a mosaic, it is one of Sardinia's best-known, and is characterized by the almost exclusive use of white, black and ochre tiles. For water lovers, the Province of Cagliari is the perfect vacation spot, thanks to its beautiful beaches: besides the aforementioned Poetto Beach, it is worth remembering, among others Tueredda and Porto Piscinni Beaches, as well as those around Villasimius, Costa Rei and Santa Margherita di Pula, all well-known and well-equipped tourist resorts.

Moreover, the coastal area around Villasimius has also became a protected marine area, in order to preserve the integrity of the beaches and of seabed life. Here it is possible to trek and scuba dive: perhaps take an excursion to the Promontory of Capo Carbonara. The Province of Cagliari is not just about beaches, though: the environmental variety equals lots excursion possibilities, whether by foot or by bike. Meanwhile the area around the Molentargius Basin is a true paradise for photography and birdwatching enthusiasts. Visitors can go horseback riding throughout the province, while windsurfing is rather popular along the coast. And some tourist resorts feature excellent golf courses. As with the rest of the island, many events and folkloric ceremonies take place year-round, including the famous Sagra di Sant'Efisio: a huge procession in traditional costume attracting people to Cagliari every May Day. Finally, the villages of Serrabus are custodians of one of the most ancient Sardinian traditions: that of the launedda players. The launedda is a three-piped musical instrument of archaic origins, used to accompany the many festivals and religious ceremonies in the area.

As on the rest of the island, the Province of Cagliari boasts its ever-present "land" starters consisting of cold cuts and local salami, accompanied by the classic pecorino cheese and pane frattau (carasau bread seasoned with tomato, olive oil and parmigiano). Along the coast, seafood appetizers of crab, shrimp and lobster salads are a favorite. Typical of the area of Cagliari is the burrida prepared with dogfish and seasoned with nuts, olives and mushrooms. Among the first courses we mention the malloreddus (Sardinian gnocchi) with sausage and tomato sauce, the mazzamurru or soup of stale bread; and sa fregula, small balls of pasta made by hand and toasted in the oven. Among the second courses, dishes with rural origins are very popular, including roast or stewed lamb (seasoned with a sauce made of crushed dried tomatoes, garlic and olive oil); and roast pork (su porceddu); in addition to goat and game. Another typical dish is the cordula con piselli (cordula with peas) - intestines of lamb fried in olive oil with garlic and parsley, and then baked in a pot with the peas.

Among the specialties of Cagliari, try the clams and mussels a schiscionera (cooked in a pan with garlic, olive oil and parsley and sprinkled bread crumbs), the bottarga (eggs of mullet or grey mullet, salted and matured and served in thin slices seasoned with olive oil), lobster a la campidanese (boiled and seasoned with olive oil and lemon juice), and su scabbecciu (fish preserved in fried oil, vinegar and garlic). Among the desserts, you can taste the pardulas (better known as formaggelle) made of cheese and ricotta; the bianchittus consisting in part of egg whites and sugar; the Pan'e Saba (made with flour, raisins, walnuts, pine nuts, almonds and cinnamon) and amaretti. The most popular wines in the Province of Cagliari are Nuragus, Malvasia, Cannonau, and Campidano, while the Mastino is a typical liqueur.

According Webster (1985), to researc HYPO.docx Sardinia What is known for Posted Dec 5th, 2006 at 6:38am SIGHTSEEING Nobody knows exactly where they came from, but the settlers who came to the island about 1500 B.C. built a remarkable network of more than 25,000 stone fortresses known as nuraghi. Today about 7,000 of the truncated cone structures remain, and for a look at the most spectacular, head to Barumini in the center of the southern part of the island, about halfway between the capital of Caligari and Oristano.

The site, complete with a three-story Bronze Age tower with a vaulted chamber was named to Unesco's World Heritage List in 1997. CULTURE Sardinia's calendar is filled year-round with some of the most colorful folk festivals in the Mediterranean, and for sheer excitement, few can match the breakneck horse races that bring Carnival to a close in February in the streets of Santu Lussurgiu (and a handful of other towns). Another contender? In July, the town of Sedilo commemorates a 4th-century battle with three days of horse races around the Sanctuary of St. Antine. DINING Strange that a Mediterranean island's cuisine would derive its culinary traditions not from the sea but the land, but that's the case on Sardinia, where roasting pigs and goats luau-like in underground pits is a time-honored tradition, and breads and pastas are imaginative staples. Try the Sardinian version of ravioli, culingiones, ball-shaped and stuffed with spinach (or beet tops), pecorino cheese (or ricotta), sometimes potatoes and even saffron. Tags:
